Captive biter spawners produce eggs that match their quality. Higher quality eggs take longer to produce so all eggs are produced at a rate of 5 every 10 seconds.

Notes

  • Eggs will start off as normal quality before being upgraded on a 10-second cycle, so you should filter your inserters to extract eggs at the desired quality.
  • Since this is done via scripting rather than modifying the prototypes and associated recipes, the production interface in the spawner won't reflect the modded production.
  • Due to limitations in scripting, eggs will spoil in the spawners. This shouldn't be a problem however, as the entire inventory (up to the normal maximum of 100) is refreshed every 10 seconds, resetting the spoilage timer.
  • Capture bot rockets still don't grant higher quality to wild nests: to build high quality spawners you'll need the 'Captive biter spawner' research from Aquilo.
  • Thanks to ChatGPT for doing a lot of the coding grunt-work.
